Ohio Medical Malpractice

Our Columbus Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Help You Get Compensation for Your Losses

If you believe that you or a family member were a victim of medical negligence, reach out to a qualified medical malpractice attorney at The Fitch Law Firm to help protect your rights and guide you through the complex legal field. We have a dedicated and compassionate legal team that will investigate the facts, prepare testimonies and evidence, and prepare for trial.

In Ohio, you typically have one year to file a medical malpractice case, which doesn’t give you a large window of time to act (ORC § Section 2305.113). Although some exceptions to this statute can allow you to extend the deadline, the sooner you reach out to a medical malpractice lawyer, the more time they may have to help you strengthen your case.

Call us at (614)739-8931 for a free, no-obligation consultation today.

Factor That Will Influence the Value of Your Medical Malpractice Claim

Determining the value of your medical malpractice claim requires a thorough investigation and collection of all your damages. Once compiled, we can present our demands to the liable party and their insurers for the maximum compensation possible.

Additionally, your settlement value could be influenced by such factors as the following:

The severity of your injuries
The time needed to recover
The care needed to recover
Your age
The cause of your injuries

To give you an example, The Fitch Law Firm LLC has obtained as much as $2.65 million in one malpractice case. The case involved a birth injury where the asthmatic mother was given improper medical care, resulting in her respiratory arrest and a serious neurological injury to the infant.
